Head butt fail.

[ForeverPompey]

is an arrogant bully.i'd love to see him have a go at Duncan Ferguson or similar >:)

[st_bangkok]

Got say hats off to him. Shows a bit of passion and always good to see a someone stand up to clear bullying tactics from players etc.

[harvey_7]

Agree with the skate :blue: ;D he's a pr1ck & a disgrace for the game & should be sacked.

[Southerndown]

Don't know what it is but I like Pardew, very much a Jeckyll and Hyde character, a nutter on the touchline but always a gent after the game.
Hopefully all this nonsense and hot air will blow over and he can carry on keeping Newcastle riding high in the league ;)

[Pentridge]

At least now we know what his Plan B is SD.

Fined 100k and given a formal warning.

Think that was just to try and be seen to act quick. Now accepted the charge.

[Dirtyweasel]

I suspect Pardew will get his own back by throwing one up Meyler's missus.

Seven game ban. - view external link (http://tinyurl.com/pafk26e)

..and a 60k fine.

Thought he'd get more, to be honest..

[BlueAdder]

Pardew didn't head butt anyone and a 7 game ban and AA?160k in fines is, imo, ridiculous.
1 game ban and warning as to future conduct would be sufficient.
What would happen to you at your place of work if you nodded at a colleague during an argument?
Suspended from work for a couple of weeks and fined a month's wages? :D

[chief_wiggam]

Agree with you BA, that was by no stretch of the imagination a headbutt.
He was dealt with by his club and a token 5 match touchline ban would have surficed imo.

If a player did it on the pitch he'd get a 3 game ban - why is it different for managers?

If they want to set examples maybe banning divers rather than people with a bit of passion would be more appropriate.

[PapaLazarou]

Not a headbutt - more a nod of respect...

And in other news, Pardew admits to calling Pelligrini a 'fussing old clot'..

[Soupytwist]

Have to say that is by far the clearest video I've seen of the incident by miles! It does look like a bit of a butt to me...but does anyone else just have that scintilla of a bit of a thought that says...'Yeah!'

[proclaimer]

Will be in the stand at SMS. With communication available I don't know if that makes much difference?
